We hope you are having a very Good Friday, wherever you are in the world.

To celebrate the Easter weekend, Dani Wootton and Naomi Sewpaul have got together virtually for one of their inimitable archaeological chats... and we have the pleasure of listening in!

In this informal and free-flowing conversation, they run with the Easter theme, covering everything from the development of sheep breeds as implied in the archaeological record, to Maundy Money and the origin of hot cross buns.

What exactly is a 'wool church'? And how can you spot a Medieval pillow mound in the landscape? Join Dani and Naomi to find out.

What's more, Dani is joined by a very special guest...

Perhaps you can help us give the VIP an archaeologically-themed nickname. Please share your suggestions in the comments!

Hi Dani and Naomi. Thanks so much for the opportunity to share in this interesting and informative discussion. Some of my ancestors in Australia worked on the Macarthur properties where the Merino sheep industry was developed.

Lamb isn't a big thing in Germany, meatwise (thank goodness), but for those who enjoy a lamb-shaped cake, there's lots of special cake pans. We do quarter-cross buns which remind me of raisin buns that I grew up with, except with more spice.

Steve Mikre

I think Phil is a good name for the adorable baby lamb...

Sarah Holloway

This is such a lovely chat and Happy Easter to everyone

Maria Burns

Enjoyable viewing, love listening and watching the banter between them Naomi and Dani!

Mónica Courtial

This was such a lovely treat! My suggestion is Sir Tony for the lamb.

Cheryl Kurucz

What an enjoyable Easter video Dani, Naomi, and the sweetest little lamb!!! Thank you! Happy Easter everyone!!!🐣

Ann H

Doing eggs, Ukranian, so chaining the devil.

Jude Edling

A Dani and Naomi chat is always entertaining, but the lamb is adorable.

Pat Szastkiw

How I would love going on a girls’ weekend with these ladies!

JUDITH COOKE

Beautiful autumn weather here on the Mornington Peninsula south of Melbourne Australia, an area known for its cheeses! I trace my ancestry back to the Eastern Counties UK, where wool churches and evidence of the weaving industry are part of the landscape. Loved listening to your interesting discussion. Thanks very much. Have a great holiday.

Gildas the Lamb. Dunno why but Gildas popped into my mind.

Mindy Collins

You two are amazing 👏 ❤️ 🤩

John W Peyton

Back to the farm, likely back to the slaughter; in which case, do not name food. Otherwise, name him and place him where he will not face a sheep's normal fate.

Beth

If the lamb is female, call her Agnes Dei. If male, call him Angus Dei.

John VanAntwerp

agnus dei puro candidus laetificat animas nostras

Stitch

Fine… call it “Efty”. As in… F.T…. Flotation Tank

Robert Wise

Thank all three of you! That was quite enjoyable! Love the lamb! And speaking of wool, I have a wool shirt that’s at least 35 years old and still not worn out! Happy Easter!

Mary Soper

Perfect name id Small Findings

Jenna Tomlin

I love that little lamb. What a treat. Enjoying the discovery process for ancient seeds, plants, and animal husbandry - it opens up the lived ecosystem as a more fully formed place with evolutions and interactions. Glorious.

Antony Chapman

Happy to celebrate a non-religious spring holiday. Not sure about the lamb - I love then roasted, with mint sauce and redcurrant jelly!!

Fern Wilcox

Well what a treat this episode was. As a knitter I appreciate the different qualities of yarns. Has anyone done any DNA studies of sheep bones/teeth found archeologically and compared them to current breeds to look for sheep which would be more "appropriate" to a colder and wet climate than to a southern and dry climate, sheep raised for their appropriateness for different textiles, vs raised for meat. 'what a convoluted sentence, sorry. I hope you understand my basic question. And here I go again: Would the stockings be made from a different sheep's fleece vs a fleece used for that waterproof cape/robe you described? Loved the lamb. I loved the varied information. Cheers from Minnesota

Graham Stokes

Thank you for this lovely and edifying talk and sharing.

Stephen Walls

Never knew about pillow mounds until now, thank you.

Halo Pendragon

I think a good proper archaeology name for your special guest would be G.O. Fizz and then you can call him Fizzy!

Heather deAvalon

Please forgive me... eat more lamb.. 50,000 coyotes can't be wrong!

Mark Howell

Loved the conversation, the education,, and the little guy. Some suggested names: Jumper (a nod to Mick), Boucle, Birrus/Birri, Duffle. Cheers from California!

I have one for Naomi about Neolithic use of plant fiber and possible dye and weave exploration. Hope I can post a link. Fascinating use of plants in Okinawa and China led me to wonder what plant fiber or dye knowledge has been lost. Can we do a selective pollen search? The plant looks like Nettle?

Coyotes in the West US are too small. In the Eastern US they are larger and have wolf and dog DNA. My backyard crew fail at deer, but get lots of wild turkey and rabbits. If only I could train them to go for more rabbit so I could have a garden. Love coyotes. Plus they keep precise hours. 5:30AM/7:30 PM.

Heather deAvalon

My boss used to say it. I visited a wildlife rehabilitation center and was walking by the coyotes when they started to howl! I was only 10 feet away! It was surreal!

"Blade" McMicking, D.I.

Fascinating! I have run into "grains of paradise" in old wine recipes, and could not find a modern equivalent -- if it's an old East African spice, I am even more intrigued!
